When a convicted murderer,
Billy O’Brien, serving two consecutive life sentences, is suddenly released
from a maximum security prison due to a clerical error, a massive man-hunt
ensues.
Not
only are the BPD and Massachusetts State Police trying to find the escaped
convict — but so are the FBI and the CIA — and the Mob — each for entirely
different reasons. Chris Callahan is a retired Boston homicide detective,
who also happens to be O’Brien’s childhood friend… and the officer who put him
behind bars.
The
entire law enforcement community agrees on only one thing:
Callahan
is the only one who can bring him in…alive.

Did the perfect company get away with the perfect crime?
They had the perfect business plan. The investors ponied up the
millions they needed. The company was humming along on all cylinders. And then one day they
disappeared. Along with all their research, files and computers ... and a vial
of the deadly Ebola virus that no one knew they had.
Enter Stephen Blackman, a fifty-something burned-out lawyer
working his first case as a private investigator. Hired to try and find the
missing scientists, Blackman turns up a dead body instead. And when the FBI arrives on
the scene Blackman can’t be sure if they’re good guys or bad. But he’s caught
up in this high-stakes, high-risk and highly confusing case to find the missing
scientists before someone releases the deadly virus on an unsuspecting world. Blackman bounces against
the worlds of international espionage, national politics, and high technology
in the first of a series featuring a different kind of private eye.

"D. G. Stern masterfully shares with the reader the complicated inner workings of Ballard's thinking, revealing how he determined the motives for the murders and the evidence that led to a conclusion of what happened. It is obvious that Stern is a lover of vintage vehicles; he even has Ballard often residing in a vintage 1955 Airstream Flying Cloud travel trailer. Chaos at the Concours is fast-paced, exciting, and full of D. G. Stern’s red herrings. If you like murder mysteries, you will appreciate Stern’s work." AuthorsReading.com
